Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 622 Business is booming
Listening to these gossip news, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to shopkeeper Chen in the prison. One was an old man who was nearly fifty years old, and the other was a housekeeper in his thirties. The daughter-in-law and his housekeeper were cuckolded, and they even helped raise their son for many years.

However, these things are irrelevant to Lin Yuan, she is very busy now, she has to take care of the decoration of the wine shop, and at the same time take care of the launch of the hot pot.

Just because Lin Yuan doesn't care about these things doesn't mean that others don't care either.Meng Tong, the owner of the Meng Family Winery, heard what the steward had heard, smashed the teacup in his hand angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "My lord, I spent so much money to hire gangsters to make trouble, why did I end up being picked up by others?" Cheap? Damn it!"

The butler frowned, and was a little inconceivable: "It is said that someone came forward to invite the local snakes in the town. The little gangsters we are looking for are all small, and they are nothing compared to those local snakes. Master, we are being killed this time. People are overcast."

Meng Tong didn't understand this truth, but now that the shop is gone, it's useless to say anything else.Meng Tong rolled his dark eyes and asked, "Who bought that shop? Did you find out?"

"It is said that she is a country girl outside the city, surnamed Liu. She should have no background, but I heard that she seems to be opening a wine shop."

"Open a wine shop too?" Meng Tong twitched his lips, showing a look of fun: "It's good to open a wine shop, then I'll let her see who is the number one wine in Zhuma Town!"

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Fumanlou officially launched the hot pot. Just as Lin Yuan expected, the hot pot immediately caused a sensation in the city.

On that day, almost all the tables in the lobby were occupied, not to mention the private rooms, and some people even wanted to join others to eat at the same table.

For hot pot flavors, Lin Yuan only offers three types: spicy, slightly spicy and fresh, so many diners try the spicy taste on the second day after eating the delicious taste on the first day.In short, the hot pot business can be described in two words, that is, hot!

Of course, the reason why hot pot is so popular is not only this unique way of eating, but also all kinds of fresh ingredients in hot pot, potatoes are nothing more than potatoes. Anyone who has eaten at Fumanlou before knows potatoes.What makes people fresh is the dried tofu skin and various meatballs.

Tofu has been on the market for a few months. Even though the flavors are ever-changing, many people are already tired of eating it. Now there are more dried tofu with different flavors, which naturally attracts many people to linger.And the meatballs, which are elastic and chewy, and taste good.Especially the beef balls, which can be filled with fillings. One ball has two flavors, which really makes them fresh and cheerful.

Early this morning, Lian'er came to Fumanlou to run errands in person, and said that Jin Yu'er would come over to try the hot pot at noon, hoping to reserve a private room for them.

Jin Yu'er has a very close relationship with Lin Yuan, so Lin Yuan naturally readily agreed.At first, I thought it would be Jin Yuer's mother who came with her, but when I saw it at noon, it turned out to be Mrs. Jin!This shocked Lin Yuan to the point where she couldn't react.

Lin Yuan hadn't seen her for a few days since what happened in the Jin Mansion last time. Looking at her again this time, the old lady Jin became more and more energetic. Although she was still in a wheelchair, she was obviously quite used to it.

"Old lady Jin, I didn't expect you to come today!" Lin Yuan greeted her as soon as she saw her, and greeted her with a charming smile.

The old lady Jin obviously liked this sweet-talking and capable little girl very much, and she boasted with a smile: "Boss Lin's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the reputation of this hot pot is even known to the neighboring towns. If my old lady doesn't Come try it, I'm afraid you will be laughed at as someone who has never seen the world."

Lin Yuan chuckled: "Sister Yu'er is watching you, who would dare to chew your tongue?"

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, and winked at Jin Yu'er behind the old lady Jin.

Jin Yu'er has been pushing Mrs. Jin's wheelchair herself since she entered the door. Looking at her skillful movements, she probably does this a lot these days.Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional, the current Jin Yu'er was obviously different from the previous Jin Yu'er, although there was still a little coldness between her brows and eyes, the smiles in her eyes gradually increased.Especially when Lin Yuan winked at her, Jin Yu'er was a little shy.

Before Jin Yu'er could speak, the old lady Jin turned around first, grabbed Jin Yu'er's hand, and said dotingly: "That's right, Yu'er is a good boy, he thinks about me as an old woman every day, isn't it for me?" When I buy pastries, I just pick out interesting things for me. No, I heard that you have a new hot pot in your store, so you brought me here quickly. After I have eaten your hot pot, I will go back and give it to my old ones. Sisters show off and show off, making them envy me too, haha."

Seeing the obvious change in old lady Jin's attitude towards Jin Yuer, Lin Yuan was also sincerely happy for her, and said with a smile: "Old lady, are you trying to show off that you have eaten hot pot, or are you showing off that you have a good grandson?" Daughter? It’s okay if you show off the hot pot, but it’s fine if you show off your granddaughter, you will definitely make those old ladies’ eyes turn red with envy!”

"It just makes them jealous! Haha." The old lady Jin laughed heartily, she was completely different from the silent old woman back then with a gloomy face.

While talking, Lin Yuan took them to the backyard. Originally, the backyard was not open to the public, but because Mrs. Jin's legs and feet were inconvenient and her status was special, Lin Yuan cleaned up a room in the backyard in advance. to entertain them.

It wasn't until she entered the backyard that Lin Yuan realized that besides Jin Yu'er and Mrs. Jin, there was also the little boy from last time. Lin Yuan remembered that his name was Jin Shiwen.

The little guy held Jin Yu'er tightly by the corner of his clothes. Although he was obviously a little more courageous than when he went out last time, his dependence on Jin Yu'er was even heavier.

After placing Mrs. Jin in the room, Lin Yuan found an excuse to call Jin Yu'er out.Lin Yuan turned over her hand, and sure enough, she saw several calluses had grown on the palm of Jin Yu'er's hand. The small hand that was originally delicate and tender felt dry and hard to the touch.

Lin Yuan said distressedly: "Tell me about you, you don't have to push the wheelchair yourself if you want to be filial. The wheelchair is so heavy, plus the old lady, can you not make calluses?"

She still remembers the situation when Jin Yuer came to the store to buy a wheelchair, it was just an empty wheelchair, and Jin Yuer pushed it with some difficulty.Now with the old lady who weighs more than 100 kilograms, I feel exhausted for her.

Jin Yu'er didn't mean to feel sorry for herself at all, she smiled indifferently, withdrew her hand, and instead comforted Lin Yuan: "It's nothing, it's just pushing the wheelchair. Compared with my grandmother when she was young, I'm a little tired." A piece of cake."

Hearing her words, Lin Yuan couldn't help being a little surprised: "Are you really reconciled with Mrs. Jin?"

Jin Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It's weird, isn't it? Even I thought it was weird. Back then, I always felt that my grandmother favored the second wife and didn't like our first wife. Marriage. However, after what happened that day, I listened to your words and purposely approached grandma, only to find out slowly that grandma did all this for our own good. "

Lin Yuan pulled Jin Yuer to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and listened to her quietly.

Jin Yu'er didn't want to drink tea at first, but she smelled very sweet, so she couldn't help but take a sip, and it didn't disappoint her.She took another sip and said, "Grandmother gave my father a concubine, because she was afraid that our eldest son would not have a son to inherit the family property, and the Jin family's property would fall into the hands of the second uncle sooner or later. And my marriage with Li Chengzhi, Grandmother is old and doesn't know much about Li Chengzhi, but she does know about aunt. In her opinion, among all the princes and brothers in Zhuma Town, only the son of the county magistrate is worthy of me. She is relieved to have her aunt there to take care of her."

It turned out that this was the case, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh, it was fortunate that Jin Yu'er and her grandfather and grandson had opened up the conversation and nothing happened, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have been misunderstood for the rest of their lives.

"Then have you ever talked to Mrs. Jin about Li Chengzhi's character? Since there is no barrier between you, you should tell her this matter frankly. After all, Mrs. Jin is your relative." Grandmother, if she knew that Li Chengzhi was not your good match, she would definitely not push you into the pit of fire."

Jin Yu'er smiled, shook her head and said, "I don't need to talk about it now."

Don't you need to say it?Lin Yuan didn't realize it for a while, and it took a while to realize that she was invited by the Jin family to chat with her in Li's residence that day. Could it be that her words had an effect?
"Could it be your aunt?"

Jin Yu'er nodded, with a relieved smile in her eyes: "When I went to pick up my grandmother this morning, Mother Feng told me in private. She said that my aunt went back home on purpose yesterday and re-discussed the marriage with Mrs. Jin After a while, I want Linger to marry into Li's house instead of me. In this way, won't I have nothing to do?"

real?Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, her words really worked, that's great, Jin Yu'er asked that bastard Li Chengzhi, but now Jin Ling'er herself has stepped into the fire pit.

Although Lin Yuan's help was indispensable, Jin Ling'er originally wanted to rob Li Chengzhi from Jin Yu'er. If she wanted to marry that scumbag, then she would let her marry. Just don't regret it in the future. .

Jin Yu'er said again: "Mother Feng also told me that my grandmother felt sorry for me about this matter, so she planned to give me the two Zhuangzi she had when she got married."

Lin Yuan burst out laughing, patted her hand and said, "You got rid of the marriage for you, and I want to give you Zhuang Zi, Jin Ling'er must be so angry that her nose is going to be crooked."

Jin Yu'er covered her lips and said with a smile: "I don't know if her nose will be crooked in anger, but your nose is almost crooked."

"You're making fun of me!" Lin Yuan pursed her lips and snorted angrily.

Jin Yu'er knew she was pretending, so she laughed.

Looking at the smiling Jin Yuer in front of her, Lin Yuan felt that this kind of Jin Yuer was the real Jin Yuer, and she was too repressed in the past.

"Oh, by the way, I see that your younger brother is here too, and he is very dependent on you." Lin Yuan poured another cup of tea for Jin Yuer, seeing that her little brother Jin Yuer's face was a bit complicated, she couldn't help but look at it more She has two eyes.

Jin Yu'er sighed, and her voice became a little lower: "Shiwen's aunt passed away last month."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, she didn't expect to hear such an answer. When she met last time, she did hear Jin Yu'er mentioning that Jin Shiwen's aunt was not in good health. She didn't expect that she was gone in just one month. .

"Now, Shiwen has passed under my mother's knees and has become the eldest son." Jin Yu'er glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "Now that the first house has a first-class son, the second house is even more anxious. I think Jin Ling'er should She will soon marry Li Chengzhi. After all, the only bargaining chip left in her hand that can win against me is this."

Lin Yuan nodded, but all her thoughts were on the dead aunt, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "Did she die last month? Why didn't you hear any news from your house?"

For a family like Jinfu, suddenly there is no one in the family, shouldn't it be done, but Jinfu doesn't seem to even have a blank paper.

Jin Yu'er looked at Lin Yuan in a daze: "Huh?"

"That's right, there's no funeral?"

Jin Yu'er was stunned, and said with an oh: "Auntie is just a concubine. Although she gave birth to a son, her status is low after all. The Jin Mansion will not arrange funerals for her. However, my mother pity her for many years in the mansion, and she is still a little girl. Be honest, and besides, because of Shiwen's relationship, it can't be too ugly. So, I bought a coffin for my aunt and buried her at the foot of the mountain outside the city. It is said that this is what my aunt wanted. Because there she can see her hometown."

Lin Yuan was silent, and then she remembered that in this era, a concubine is a humble existence. If it wasn't for this aunt who gave birth to a son and met Hong, a kind-hearted mistress, she might end up with nothing but a piece of paper. The broken mat was rolled up and thrown into a mass grave.

Liu Niang's figure suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan's mind. If that weak and uncontested woman could not escape the nightmare of the Li family, she would probably die of depression just like Shiwen's mother.However, it is foreseeable that Liuniang's fate will definitely not be as good as that of Shiwen's mother, because Jin Xiaojuan is not from the Hong family.

Correspondingly, Lin Yuan thought of Lin Siyu in a very unkind way. If one day the dirty things between her and Li Chengzhi were exposed, the fate waiting for her would be extremely miserable.

Xu had just lost his biological mother. Jin Shiwen was very dependent on Jin Yu'er, so he pestered Qing'er to look for her in just a short while.

Jin Yu'er lovingly pulled her younger brother over, reached out and stroked his head, and formally introduced Lin Yuan to him.

Jin Shiwen glanced at his sister, and in her encouraging eyes, he timidly called Lin Yuan sister.

Lin Yuan sweetly agreed and gave him a piece of pastry.

Just like before, Jin Shiwen took the pastry after obtaining Jin Yuer's consent, and ate it slowly.

Lin Yuan liked this well-behaved little brother very much. Although his eyes were timid when looking at people, he could still see a bit of stubbornness and bravery deep in his eyes.Such eyes are very similar to Jin Yu'er, they are indeed siblings, even the eyes are exactly the same, in the future, this child will definitely not be simple.

Mrs. Jin is very satisfied with hot pot, because she likes spicy food by nature, and she likes slightly spicy hot pot very much.However, thinking that she is getting older, and afraid that she will suffer if she lasts longer, Jin Yu'er will not let her eat more.

For Jin Yu'er's concern, Mrs. Jin was both relieved and wronged.Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Jin Yu'er had no choice but to promise to bring her back another day, so she smiled.

Bystanders can tell that Lin Yuan's attitude towards the old lady has also changed. She thought she was a fool before, but now she turns out to be an old child.

I heard from Lin Ershuan that since the wheelchair incident that day, Mrs. Jin asked Jin Yuer to take her to Lin Ershuan's shop to have a look. Once there, she fell in love with a rocking chair and insisted on sitting on it.It doesn't matter if you sit down this time, Mrs. Jin is not willing to come down for anything.

Jin Yu'er couldn't laugh or cry, so she agreed to buy the rocking chair on the spot.

When talking about this with Jin Yuer just now, Jin Yuer laughed from ear to ear again. It turned out that after buying it back, this rocking chair completely replaced the bed, and she was even reluctant to get down to sleep.

There is such an old child in the family, it is really a big treasure.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of her grandparents. If they could be like this old lady, seeming to be confused but actually shrewd, then their family wouldn't be as troubled as they are now, right?

The old lady Jin was considered a rare guest, and this day, Lin Yuan welcomed another rare guest, Liu Niang.

Liu Niang's coming to Fumanlou not only surprised Lin Yuan, but also made sense.After all, Shen Dajun works in their shop.

Liu Niang grew up in the countryside, and was later sold into a brothel by her elder brother and sister-in-law, and then entered Li's residence.Although I have stayed in Zhuma Town for several years, but to be honest, I am not familiar with it at all.Going out this time was the first time for her to really see the world outside Li's mansion.

Xu Shi had never shown her face in front of so many people. Liu Niang wore a veil when she went out, unlike Zheng Ruyue who covered her entire body, and Su Qiuyu who wore two layers inside and out. She was just wearing a simple veil.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Niang's eyes began to wander back and forth in the lobby.

Lin Yuan could see her thoughts at a glance, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.During the days when Shen Dajun was working in Fumanlou, Lin Yuan paid special attention to it. He was indeed, as Pan'er said, a very honest man, strong, not lazy in his work, and down-to-earth.Moreover, he has an excellent character, and he gets along very well with the people in the back kitchen. Everyone likes him very much.There was even a cook who wanted to tell him about his sister, but he repeatedly refused, saying that he already had a wife in his family, and he couldn't do anything wrong for her.It was a matter of course, and there was no doubt at all.
